New Swansea City manager Bob Bradley broke his five-year silence on the end of his tenure as coach of the US national team, accusing Jürgen Klinsmann of “jockeying” for his job and calling his firing a “mistake”. From the pay-to-play format at youth level to the need for more Hispanic inclusion, it did seem as if Klinsmann was marketing his own candidacy for the job. “I’ve been here for 12 years now,” Klinsmann said, after Mike Tirico confirmed his close ties with the US. Facebook Twitter Pinterest Bradley accused Klinsmann of lobbying for the USA job back in 2010. Following the World Cup, Bradley signed a contract extension until 2014 that would have kept him in charge until at least the following tournament in Brazil.
